Ladi Adebayo
Taking Development to the Grassroots
"I opened up 7 kilometres of rural road comprising over 10 villages in Atakumosa East Local Government of Osun State.
Prior to this, the road was not motorable.
The villagers are now able to transport their goods easily to the main market in Ilesa.
Total cost: N1,620,200.
I did the road project on a personal note.
It was when I went to the town and the villagers complained that they were unable to get their goods to the market that I decided to help them out."

Images from the task
Stakeholders- Ladi Adebayo, centre, in white, and the villagers, in front of the earth moving machine
The tool of transformation is prepared for work
Clearing naked earth
The iron mouth swallows earth, carving a path for humans to pass
The villagers lounge on the new road as it steadily takes shape
The iron mouth plows on as schoolchildren look on
The iron mouth tears the earth as humans gaze at its unstoppable force
Ladi Adebayo and the villagers in a victorious pose at work's end
The villagers awaiting the outcome of the road construction process
Ladi Adebayo and another man survey progress of work
Ladi Adebayo relaxing with the villagers as the road construction goes on
The villagers and their geographical space
The earth eating machine chews deeper into the forest as the villagers look on
The villagers watch the road construction in action
